    Calculate the volume of each shape.

    Volume of rectangle = 6 x 5/6 x 1 2/6 = 6 2/3 cubic inches.

    Volume of cube = 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216 cubic inch.

    Now divide the volume of the rectangle by the volume of the cube:

    6 2/3 / 1/216 = 1440

    It will take 1.440 cubes to fill the rectangle.
